sounds horribly familiar!!! He has my sympathy! Sometimes I try and
hit my SO for laughing but only end up breaking nails or hurting my
hand/foot etc.

~I just stand well back,try to look sympathetic and not laugh...
Himself just stands well back. Never even pretends not to laugh and as
for sympathy? pah!

I get my own back though, laughing at him when the cat wreaks revenge
on my behalf. What's even funnier is she's *his* cat... he calls it a
female conspiracy :-)
